It rubbed its head against Peterkin's cheek, licked his chin, and thrust its head almost violently into his neck, while it purred more loudly than I ever heard a cat purr before, and appeared to be so much overpowered by its feelings, that it occasionally mewed and purred almost in the same breath.
One bright morning, when all the bed and table linen, and every bleachable thing to be found in the house, were spread upon the grass; when feather beds and blankets, and carpets, were hung out to air; when soap-suds and white-wash stood side by side; when the china closet had disgorged its treasures, and the silver was spread out for extra polishing; when all the ingredients for a mammoth fruit cake were marshalled on the kitchen table; when chairs and other furniture were gathered in clusters, as if discussing the general uproar; when poor old Lilly Foot had been driven forth with a sharp reproof and a cold breakfast, and forlorn kitty, hid away in a dark corner, where only her green eyes were visible, mewed disconsolate, a loud knock was heard at the door.
Ye nations come come from the east and south. Forth from your steppes, your immemorial woods Of every tongue, of every raiment come! Bridle the steed, the reindeer, and the camel!

This is an ill world where only evil men flourish. The old knight still fidgeted to be gone. 'Nay, Katharine said seriously, 'ye think I will work mine own advantage with the King. But I do swear to thee I have it not in my mind.
You can fancy what my life has been for the last ten days, mewed up in a dull, ugly parlour with that old cat. 'My poor, dear Jill! But why did you not write to me, and I would have come over at once? 'So I did write, twice, and I do believe that horrid creature never posted my letters, I daresay they are in her pocket now, and I could not get out by myself until to-day.

Their papa and mamma had given them these names, because Wishie was always saying she wished she had this, and she wished she had that, and never seemed satisfied unless she had everything she mewed for: while Contenta, on the contrary, was of the sweetest disposition in the world, and always pleased with what was given to her.
